While the milestone itself is crazy, the fact that it was achieved using the original powertrain is all the more impressive.

Farrah Haines is the owner of this 2013 Hyundai Elantra that, for the most part, looks like every other carbon-copy that rolled off the company's assembly line just five years ago. However, it's very likely the most well-traveled example of them all with more than 1,000,000 miles accumulated—all on the original powertrain.

Despite eclipsing the seven-figure mile mark, the Elantra is extremely clean and obviously well cared for. Farrah added a few things, like a grille guard, to help protect her car through the many hours of driving. 

Thanks to her job as a delivery driver, Haines was able to rack up that many miles in less than half-a-decade. In all, she travels about 200,000 miles a year, which is fine by her as she only took up the job as she loved to be behind the wheel and figured she might as well make money in the process.

When her car reached the milestone, Haines was, understandably, a little disheartened that there wouldn’t be a way for her to show the achievement—digital odometers just don't have the space for so many digits.

It was then that Hyundai stepped in to create an exclusive badge, recognizing her achievement. Dubbed "The Million Mile Emblem," Hyundai created it as a genuine part that it will award other drivers with should they achieve the astounding feat.

While driving the same car to a million miles in just five years is a big deal, Farrah says she’s looking forward to the next milestone of 1.5 million miles.

delivery driver.....Doing what you love and loving what you do

Shame she had to suffer driving a million miles in a boring Elantra.

Let them try it on Nigeria road, to ascertain how rugged d car is.

Rubbish car with no second hand value.

Space booked

Lol

Driven on pothole free roads thats y

"I'll travel a million miles"

Imagine driving a million mile on Naija road. Oboy na only bonnet go remain ooh.

See fine car see dey use to take do delivery......for 9ja na big men car b this

Oh I can see now, even in their good roads, they had to add extra strength to the bumper.

Hyundai bumper is ironically the most delicate part of the car.

My accent bumper has suffered for Naija roads. I had to remove the fog light

Can only achieve that in a sane country with good road

This is no mean feat. 1 million miles is a remarkable achievement.

Planning to buy a car this season?
You need customized Premium Vehicle History Reports to ensure you don't end up with cars with dangerous and hidden damage history.
The reports also include mileage records, in addition to accident/Salvage, flood damage, and a lot more.

Signature.

In nigeria you shock absorber wld have been change to toyota or Mercedes Benz by now at ladipo. Bad road spoils cars quickly

hmm

Waiting for Hyundai to give her a brand new one

Come test am in Nigeria first.








I sell laptops, more in signature.

If she drives that same car from Oshodi to Abule Egba, the effect on her vehicle would be more than the 1M miles she's driven.

U can never achieve this in Nigeria. Traffic, pot holes and bad mechnics(kazeem and Co) would have turned d car to 504. Just tired of this country walahi

E for try am for 9ja road na. If no be only the motor steering go remain for her hand.

You think of the second hand value because you are a Nigerian.They have good roads over there and do the services as at when due not when faulty. Imagine the Hyundai of five years still looking like that, that's in a the country where they have good leaders.
